Oh, Pix. I can't understand why they would think that.
I don't fancy spending the next month trying to get librarian out of the carpet.

Pain-ease for the Pix, please.

The status is NOT quo.
Thanks. I won't lie--it's a huge blow right now. Everyone at school and all my family kept treating the job as a done deal as soon as I applied, even though I kept saying "I haven't gotten it yet" to everyone, and now I have to confirm that yes, indeed, they did reject me. And it was a real rejection--the associate head's message confirmed that they brought in a second round of candidates after I had interviewed in the first round since they didn't feel comfortable with any of the first rounders.
I'm still hurting. I feel some relief, but I don't feel like I'm about to pass out. Just slightly less in pain. Better than it was, at least.
Anyway, thank you, Bitches. I appreciate your love and support. I think I'm going to hole up and hide from the world for a little while now.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
I'm sorry, Kristin. And I hope your meds kick in soon so you can have some pain relief. Ouch!

“Not dead yet!”
Pix, that sounds like crappy, generic, "we're saying this because it would take too much effort to give thoughtful, considered reasons," talk, babe. I know it's so hard not to, but please, try not to take it personally. You are a gifted, dedicated teacher and you deserve so much better.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
That's hard, Pix. I'm sorry. Personally, I'd flip out with happiness if my either of my kids had a teacher like you.

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.
((((Pix)))))
God, so sorry, love. That's rotten. They are clearly a bunch of idiot fuckos.
Shir - thanks, love. Good advice.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
So sorry, Pix.
